GoogleDear Mel and team,
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you for your excellent service and care when selling my Dads bungalow.
From your first visit , coming to inspect at very short notice, being prepared and positive in all your comments made us very happy that we chose you and Jacob Steel to sell the property. You kept us fully informed of developments and also kept the purchasers solicitors on their toes.
I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone needing an estate agent.
Thank you so much again.

GoogleI highly recommend Jacobs Steel, Lancing. The team, especially Rachel and Mel, were really easy to work with and very efficient. They kept on top of things and were very good at prodding my somewhat slow solicitor. Everything went smoothly from putting the house on the market through to completion. I would certainly be happy to use their services again.

GoogleThis is the second time Jacobs Steel sold my property and to be honest, they were absolutely the best agents I ever worked with to sell or buy property.
Extremely professional and helpful in every way.
It was smooth sale and I could not praise them enough. Amazing job, well done to Mel and the team!
I would happily recommend them to anyone who is looking for the best support to buy or sell property.

GoogleAs first time buyers the process of buying a house was extremely stressful but Phoebe and Mel were fantastic at answering any questions, helping us chase solicitors and making the experience as easy for us as possible. They updated us often and if the person I wanted to speak to was not available there was all ways someone else I could speak to. They were all ways professional and happy when talking to them and went above and beyond. Thank you to the whole team for making the purchase go as smoothly as it could!

GoogleExcellent service from Melissa the branch manager in Lancing. She has a no nonsense style and tells you 'how it is'. She listened to all my concerns in our initial meeting then came back with a clear Marketing Strategy and a offers above price. I was a little concerned that she was being over ambitious. I need not have been. She arranged lots of viewing prioritising those that were in good positions to move quickly. We had 5 offers on the first day and didn't need to proceed with other viewing's she had also set up. There was clear communication throughout with her often negotiating between solicitors to get things moving. She was a true professional and a true asset to Jacobs Steel.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleThey successfully sold two flats for me and persuaded me to buy a new one. One Sale was a bit of a lengthy process not helped by lockdowns but Mel was very good at hustling it through. They have had some staff turnover in the last two years, so you might want to check Mel is still there before making a decision to use them. They handled everything you could expect, the viewings are well organised through a website and they also found us a clearance company. In general prompt action and good responsiveness.
I've only given 4 stars because we didn't get the hoped for prices but it may be unfair to blame them and real money in the bank is always better than theoretical money on an advert..PositiveResponsiveness

GoogleMel and her team at Jacobs really proved to us what they first offered over the table on our first meeting together. Determined to get the sale on our home quickly and efficiently to the dates and price she promised through an open house. Mel was then key in getting our on wards purchase over the line when the chain was a little up and down at times, but Mel really showed her exempt communication skills in pushing for answers and decisions from the rest of the chain when we needed them. Something that we feel is an important factor in a move. Would highly recommend as she will go above and beyond to get the job done and was a key factor in making the move finalised. Thank you, Mel.PositiveProfessionalism

GoogleAfter looking at quite a few properties, it was nice to get an estate agent that had all the answers whilst showing you around. Phoebe was very professional and any information she couldnβt answer she got back to me straight away. Unlike other estate agents around the area whoβs answer were if you call the office they will confirm.
Once the offer had been accepted Mel was the main point of contact and she helped a lot with chasing the solicitors and trying to get the process completed as quickly as possible. Took a while but got there in the end.
We also used the Findon office for another property search, very last minute but they fitted us in for a viewing. The gentleman that we met, again new everything about the property & was very professional.
Thank you Mel, Phoebe & the Jacob steel team for all your help. Highly recommend.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleWe purchased through Jacobs Steel and we were very impressed with the level of service even though we weren't their client. Mel kept on top of the whole process and chased up on things that needed to be chased, not only for their client, but also for us where our estate agents failed. We could not fault them throughout the entire process even when things went wrong with the exchange date. Nothing was too much for them. We even received a welcome gift from them which was a nice touch. We would consider using them if or when in the future.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

They have made our sale and purchase journey seamless.
Communication was outstanding as we were kept informed at every stage, questions were answered promptly, and nothing ever felt rushed or unclear.
What really sets them apart is their personal approach. They listened, understood exactly what we needed, and went above and beyond to deliver. Itβs rare to find an agent who combines expertise with such integrity and dedication.
If youβre looking for an estate agent you can trust completely, look no further. An outstanding experience from an outstanding team.
The best agents in lancing by far!
